White Paper: High Performance Assemblies : High Performance Steel-framed Wall & Floor/Ceiling Assemblies

Many buildings require high levels of sound isolation for wall and/or floor/ceiling assemblies. High performance requirements often call for a mix of sound isolation treatments. Aligning these treatments for an efficient assembly can be a challenge due to structural design and testing limitations. 

This white paper, a collaboration between PAC International and PABCO, dives into real project case studies, highlighting hurdles and proposing smart solutions for top-notch sound transmission loss (STL) performance. The drive to achieve a high degree of STL performance in these designs also allowed the research team to identify some novel acoustic treatment trends and behavior. This white paper reveals these insights and more.
